Package: gnugk
Version: 2:2.2.6-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

Hi,

Since firebird1.5 (providing firebird2-dev) is going to be removed[1]
because it is not supported by upstream any more and has security
issues, gnugk will suddenly FTBFS and become uninstallable due to
missing firebird2-dev and libfbclient1 packages.

[1] http://bugs.debian.org/438862

The attached patch changes the Build-Depends on firebird to
firebird2.0-dev, which takes care of the Depends also. I've build the
package on amd64 without errors (in a fresh sid pbuilder chroot).

Note that I've taken the oportunity to also extend the list of
architectures firebird is supported by powerpc, sparc and kfreebsd-*.

Severity is serious, since gnugk should not be released
(build-)depending on an unsupported version ofr firebird.

Thanks for taking care.
